Property
To Ashley your home isn’t just another property and she makes sure all agents and potential buyer know that! Each home has it’s own unique story and characteristics that will appeal to certain buyers so Ashley plans a marketing stagey that will capitalize on those features. Does your home have a large fenced in backyard? An stunning lake view? Chef kitchen? Is it nestled in a nice, quiet cul-de-sac with sidewalks? These descriptive terms help people understand the desirable attributes about the home and help them envision themselves living their day to day in their dream home.
Price
Pricing is obviously a large factor in how quickly you can sell a home and it is important to implement correct pricing strategies and research in your specific neighborhood. Ashley conducts quality research into the market and stays on top of seasonal price fluctuations and trends. This way, your property can strategically stay in the view of everyone searching and your property will get the best position in the market among the competition. If your home isn’t listed properly, it won’t matter what your marketing strategies are because it will be priced out of the target buyers market.
Process
From the initial meeting to the closing table there is a proven sucessful process that Ashley implements to get her sellers to the closing table in the quickest amount of time for the highest sales price possible. Ashley takes time with every seller to go through the home and suggest updates, repairs, and staging to help increase the sellers proceeds as well as takes the time to walk them through what to expect during the selling process. This also allows her to effectively communicate with her clients about marketing strategies, market data, and showing feedback from potential buyers.
Promotion
Ashley has a wide variety of tools to promote your home to reach the maximum number of clients, and ultimately find the best buyer for your property. “These days the first showing is online and therefore you have to put your best foot forward in your property media”, says, Ashley. The tools she utilizes with EVERY listing include professional photos, virtual tour, floor plans, flyers, social media, open houses, email campaigns, Adwerx, all the real estate marketing websites, and more. She does everything she can to reach the maximum number of clients, and ultimately find the best buyer for your property.
